Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to comply with section 188 of TULR(C)A 1992. 20 or more employees were made redundant on 29 November 2024 without any consultation having taken place. There was a complete failure to comply with any part of the statutory requirements.
Facts
R National Realisations (2024) went into administration and made 20 or more employees redundant at its Hemel Hempstead establishment on 29 November 2024. The claimant was the elected employee representative. No consultation took place before the dismissals. The company was in administration at the time of the tribunal decision.
Decision
The tribunal found a complete failure to comply with the statutory duty to inform and consult under section 188 TULR(C)A 1992. A protective award of the maximum 90 days was made in respect of all affected employees at the establishment dismissed as redundant on or after 29 November 2024.
Practical note
Employers making collective redundancies must consult with employee representatives even when in administration, or face the maximum 90-day protective award for complete failure to comply.
